Question:
My cousin gave me two of his Christian Dior dress shirts, and they were too big for me (Size L, 16, 16.5). I plan to sell them here or ebay. So how much would should I sell them for? The condition is still really good.

Honestly, the outsourced shirts probably aren't worth much at all. They are very different from mainline Dior.

Answer:
Those are Dior Homme.
What you have is a shirt made overseas using the licensed Dior Homme name.
Answer:
Agreed. I honestly think that it wouldn't even be worth it to list here or on ebay. The licensed shirts aren't rare and, given ebay fees and the pickiness of most SFers, it really wouldn't be worth your time (in some cases, it might cost more to ship the shirt than the shirt is worth).
If I were you, I'd just give them to somebody who is that size who could use them.
For your general info, from 2001, Hedi Slimane took over at Dior and relaunched the menswear as Dior Homme. When this happened, the brand took a total change and went from a licensed JC Penney level brand to the top of the food chain. So, the post 2001 stuff is very pricey and quite interesting (and has a silver tag that just says "DIOR.") The Pre 2000 licensed stuff, however, is not (usually a white tag that says "Christian Dior Monsieur" or something like that.) Like a lot of brands from Cardin to YSL to Givenchy, Dior got into some trouble with licensing and sort of dissolved a lot of its clout until Hedi came along.
Answer:
Not een Dior Homme...it is probably Christian Dior Monsieur which I'm not even sure is a license that has been operating in the past 10 years.
Answer:
+1. All the thrift shops I've been to have tons of Christian Dior Monsieur stuff.
Answer:
I think they still make CD Monsieur stuff, or at least dropped it very recently (as in the past two-three years as there were still Monsieur stores in certain places around the world back then). I read somewhere that the line was even revised by Hedi Slimane.
Answer:
Aren't you thinking of the "30 Rue Montaigne" or something like that? I don't think it was actually Dior Monsieur... rather, it was a small collection for the Dior store in more classic styles. But, it too was made in Italy and priced rather high (definitely in a different spectrum than the ole made in Hong Kong Monsieur).
Answer:
I'm fairly sure the cheap CD Monsieur line is still produced and sold in Latin America for instance.. Perhaps they've purchased back all the licenses by now though. I remember some talk of the Armani Classico-esque conservatively tailored line by Hedi, but wasn't it put on ice? I haven't seen/heard anything of this recently.
Answer:
Yeah, I think there are still some licenses in South America, but I don't think Hedi has anything to do with those. I thought you were talking about the 30 Rue Mon. collection, which Hedi did revamp.
But, I don't think he ever touched the South American licenses...
Answer:
Yeah it must have been the high end 30 Av. Montaigne line that Hedi revamped, not the cheaper licences. All I read was that there were a line from pre-DH that Hedi did in fact revise (I'm definitely threading on thin ice here as info on these collections is hard to find anywhere)..
Answer:
I will confirm that they still those shirts in latin america. But i do not know whhat thhe quality is like with a 43 neck and 40 body i buy all mtm or bespoke.
